Townes Van Zandt
Greensboro Woman
[Verse 1]
Greensboro woman, don't you smile on me
I do not feel like being comforted
And anyway I'll be home soon
For once there's someone waiting there
And if you don't mind, I'll just think on her instead

[Verse 2]
Your face, she's a picture, babe
But pictures ain't what I crave
I do not feel this way most generally
I just put a thousand miles
Between me and where my thoughts do lie
And I'd thank you kindly, babe, if you kindly let me be

[Verse 3]
Your car, she's smooth and fast
Babe, your bourbon's fine
But I ain't feeling free and clear today
Texas loving laying on my mind
I couldn't do you right, babe
Spinning around this way

[Verse 1]
So Greensboro woman, don't you smile on me
I do not feel like being comforted
And anyway I'll be home soon
For once there's someone waiting there
And if you don't mind, I'll just think on her instead
